Ex-Rangers star Bob Malcolm goes from Old Firm derbies to selling ice creams out of van
The Sun can reveal the former Ibrox ace tootles around daily selling chilled goodies from the treat wagon in Glasgow
RANGERS hero Bob Malcolm now serves up cones to punters after scooping a role as an ice cream van man.
SunSport can reveal the former Ibrox ace has joined the sundae league and tootles around selling creamy treats from a Spiderman-clad wagon.
It’s a far cry from his glory days playing in front of crowds of 50,000.
But Malcolm, 36, is said to be doing brisk business on the streets of Glasgow’s east end.
The former midfielder joked about his new day job, tweeting: “Spiderman is Barlanark’s fourth emergency service.
“It’s a great laugh, meeting new people.”
The former Gers midfielder is thought to have been doing the route for a relative over the last few weeks.
The tinkling strains of Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head herald his arrival — and kids swarm the van for ices, sweets and snacks most afternoons.
One customer said: “I did a double-take the first time I was served by him. He does a roaring trade — the business must be worth a mint.”
And they added: “He gets stick from Celtic fans but it’s good-natured. When Rangers have been beaten they head for the counter to wind him up.”
When we approached Malcolm he said: “My name is Peter” before admitting his identity.
Malcolm signed for Gers in 1997 and left for Derby County in 2006, also enjoying stints with Motherwell and Dundee.
After retiring in 2012, he coached with old pal Barry Ferguson at Blackpool and Clyde.
